Question

A lake has the capacity to support 10,000 trout. Suppose that the conditions are such that the current population of trout will grow logistically up until it stabilizes at the amount that the lake can support. Currently there are 1,500 trout in the lake. Which of the following is a possible model for P(t), the trout population in t years?

Answer 1

P(t) = 10,000/ (1+9e^-0.48t)

Explanation:

i think because it starts at around 1500 for t=1 and then when t=2 and so on it grows exponentially.

Answer 2

I just got this problem, I'm not sure if it's right but I got P(t) = 10,000/ (1+9e^0.48t)
